well my civic burns but im saying you should confirm too before to much stress
hate that feeling of buying a used car then feeling like your waiting for things to unravel lol.
will update how it gos later on during the day
did u do a compression test prior to buying the car? although this only give a limited view of the engine overall health it is worth doing.
nah man i didnt. i want to get it done though wheee can i do it ?
its just rhat ticking noise drives me nuts really want to know what it is searxhed the net and a few people said may be timing belt tensioner . what do you guys recomend for break pads ? the ppl eho did my clutch recomended ebc red stuff didnt hear about it till they told me. also planning on just changing the fronts as i dont see a need for the back period ? its not like im doind hand brakies or something lol
Any mechanic could do the compression/leakdown check.
i jus checked the enginr oil several times. the main oil is like half way and then you have like a trail of oil on the edge leading to the full.
surely the oil must be covering the dipstick to the full not only half eay with the edges having a trail ?
its only been driven approx 550km since service of oil filter and 5w40 full synthetic oil
are u 100% its was at full after the service??
yes i checked it several times and saw it was covering that hole at the full lineQuote:

Yup, Koni Yellow only 4 step adjustment unlike BC's 30 step adjustment however the 30 steps in most of the cheaper coilovers don't have a profound effect [ie There isn't much different between step 1-3] and can be grouped by 4-5 steps so effectively it can be treated as 6-7 step with perhaps some .5's in there.Quote:

Fill it up to the full line then keep checking it every 2-3 drives and keep us informed. This way we will know for sure how much its burning and see if its within tolerance.Quote:
